Answer

$A-2B=\begin{bmatrix} 9 & 2 \\ 2 & 6 \\ 3 & -10 \end{bmatrix} $

Work Step by Step

Multiplying each element of $B= \begin{bmatrix} -3 & 1 \\ 2 & -4 \\ -1 & 5 \end{bmatrix} $ by $2,$ and then subtracting the result from $A= \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 \\ 6 & -2 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} ,$ then \begin{align*} A-2B&= \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 \\ 6 & -2 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} -3(2) & 1(2) \\ 2(2) & -4(2) \\ -1(2) & 5(2) \end{bmatrix} \\\\&= \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 \\ 6 & -2 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} -6 & 2 \\ 4 & -8 \\ -2 & 10 \end{bmatrix} \\\\&= \begin{bmatrix} 3-(-6) & 4-2 \\ 6-4 & -2-(-8) \\ 1-(-2) & 0-10 \end{bmatrix} \\\\&= \begin{bmatrix} 3+6 & 4-2 \\ 6-4 & -2+8 \\ 1+2 & 0-10 \end{bmatrix} \\\\&= \begin{bmatrix} 9 & 2 \\ 2 & 6 \\ 3 & -10 \end{bmatrix} .\end{align*} Hence, $ A-2B=\begin{bmatrix} 9 & 2 \\ 2 & 6 \\ 3 & -10 \end{bmatrix} .$
